Description
This 2-day Capitol Peak ascent in Aspen, Colorado is a challenging, but rewarding adventure.
The Capitol Peak (4309 m) is considered to be one of Colorado’s most difficult ascents especially because of its exposed knife-edge ridge. It is located west of Aspen, at the heart of the Elk Mountain Range.
For this trip we have designed an overnight mountaineering program that will allow you to enjoy the best of Colorado’s outdoors. We will hike up to the Capitol Lake on the first day. There we will camp and enjoy the amazing mountain scenery underneath the Capitol Peak’s northwest face. And at night you will get to see a cavalcade of beautiful stars.
Early the next morning we will start making our ascent before dawn. It will be a demanding day. We will make our way up steep trails and we will use our hands to get across the famous knife-edge. Throughout the trip, the views you will get to enjoy will be breathtaking. And the feeling you will have at the peak’s summit will be unparalleled.
So send us a request, tell us when you’re coming to visit us and we’ll get this 2-day Capitol Peak ascent in Aspen, Colorado all prepared for you.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
